Barton services should be unaffected as they are crewed by TPE staff, however other Northern services will be affected. In particular, in our area note that as all three dates are Saturdays there is unlikely to be any Brigg line service and services to Hull will be severely reduced.

Ticket acceptance with TPE will be in place, so if for example you have an advance purchase ticket to Sheffield via Brigg, you may travel by appropriate alternative trains.

Fee free refunds are available for anybody who chooses not to travel.

As usual, all Barton line services should run, but people at Cleethorpes, Grimsby and Habrough note that the Brigg line trains will not run.

Industrial action now suspended, it seems agreement has been reached to have a guard on every train.
